In general when it comes to these things, it's better to ask a medical professional, rather than people online.I think that the reason that they lose weight is due to a loss of some unnecessary fluids, & is generally nothing to worry about. If; the weight loss continues for more than a few days after birth, exceeds 10%, or the infant is not back to (or above) it's birth weight within a couple weeks, seek medical attention immediately.
